Let's get together for a while, if you please
I'll sing this song for a while (?), with my back to you
Yesterday's me in the mirror
looks an awful lot like today's me
It's been sad,
it's been distressing,
it's been painful,
but nobody ever listens to me,
so my only friendship is my face with my knees
Tears stream down my face,
and they reach someone, wherever they are
"Hey, don't you know?"
"The heart is something..."
"...that only others can see!"
Now, as I head toward tomorrow,
hands wave, yelling "see you later!",
at my back comes a "good luck,"
all in voices I've heard before
And then I'm off, running on the asphalt,
soaked in warm tears
So I say bye-bye,
to the old me, the "once upon a me"
Let's get together for a long while, if you please
Now that I'm being a bit more positive,
can you see my heart glittering?
Was it sad?
Was it distressing?
It was painful,
but don't ever say nobody's listening
After all, we're friends
Tears stream down a face,
and they fall on the ears of today's me
"Hey, it's all right!"
"I'm always watching after your heart!"
Now, as you head toward tomorrow,
hands wave, yelling "see you later!",
at your back comes a "good luck,"
shouted in voices you've heard before
And then you're off running,
with a heart gleaming bright
So say bye-bye,
to the old me, the "once upon a me"
Let's get together for a little while longer, if you please
When I looked like I might cry a little,
everyone supported me...
So this time, I'll give them my aid
It was sad,
it was distressing,
it was painful,
but you were always watching,
you were always listening,
and now it's my turn
Tears stream down your face,
and drowning in a sea of them,
you splash and flail
So, for you,
I'll chant the magic words:
a buoy for the heart, an "it's all right"
Now, as I head toward tomorrow with you,
toward a tomorrow where we hold hands,
I'm hugged from behind,
as I hear countless voices
And then we burst into tears, you and me,
but showed each other warm smiles
So I say bye-bye,
to the old me, the "once upon a me"
